Abstract

The driven individual wheel running gear for a railbound vehicle has a chassis frame and two propulsion units (1) arranged in each case on the longitudinal sides of the running gear between two individual wheels (2). The housing (3) for each propulsion unit is integrated into the frame as a supporting element in the form of a longitudinal support. The housing of the propulsion units are detachably connected to at least one cross member (4) of the chassis frame.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein angetriebenes Einzelradfahrwerk für ein Schienenfahrzeug, insbesondere für ein niederfluriges Straßenbahnfahrzeug, mit einem Fahrwerkrahmen und zwei Antriebseinheiten, die an den Längsseiten des Fahrwerks jeweils zwischen zwei Einzelrädern angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a driven Einzelradfahrwerk for a rail vehicle, in particular for a low-floor tram vehicle, with a Chassis frame and two drive units on the long sides of the Chassis are each arranged between two individual wheels.

Ein angetriebenes Einzelradfahrwerk mit den vorgenannten Merkmalen ist durch das Dokument EP-A-0 698 540 und in einer realisierten Ausführung durch die Zeitschrift "Der Nahverkehr" 12/96, Seiten 30 bis 36, bekannt (siehe speziell Abb. 3). Die jeweils einen längsliegenden Motor und zwei Winkelgetriebe aufweisenden Antriebseinheiten sind über ihre Gehäuse am Rahmen des Fahrwerks aufgehängt.A driven Einzelradfahrwerk with the aforementioned features by document EP-A-0 698 540 and in a realized embodiment by the magazine "The local traffic" 12/96, pages 30 to 36, known (see especially Fig. 3). The one longitudinal motor and two angular gears having drive units are on their housing on the frame suspended from the landing gear.

Durch das Dokument DE 721 772 C gehört femer ein zweiachsiges rahmenloses Triebdrehgestell zum Stand der Technik, bei dem ein mittig angeordneter und auf den beiden Radachsen abgestützter Elektromotor über sein Gehäuse und daran angebrachte Arme den tragenden Teilt des Drehgestelles bildet. Wie auch der Begriff "rahmenlos" definiert, ist bei dieser Konstruktion kein Drehgestellrahrnen vorhanden.The document DE 721 772 C further includes a biaxial frameless Drive bogie to the prior art, in which a centrally arranged and supported on the two axles electric motor via its housing and arms attached to it carry the supporting part of the bogie forms. As the term "frameless" defines, in this construction no bogie pipes available.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Fahrwerk der gattungsgemäßen Art auf möglichst einfache Weise so zu gestalten, daß eine besonders wirtschaftliche und hinsichtlich der Abmessungen noch kompaktere Ausführung erreicht wird.The invention is based on the object, a chassis of the generic To make the simplest possible way so that a special economical and in terms of dimensions even more compact design is reached.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst, wobei insbessondere die Gehäuse der Antriebseinheiten jeweils einen Längsträger des Fahrwerkrahmens bilden und mit zumindest einem Querträger des Fahrwerkrahmens lösbar verbunden sind. This object is achieved by the features of claim 1, wherein in particular the housing of Drive units each form a longitudinal member of the chassis frame and releasably connected to at least one cross member of the chassis frame are.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. Demnach kann die lösbare Verbindung zwischen den Gehäusen der Antriebseinheiten und zumindest einem Querträger des Fahrwerkrahmens eine formschlüssige Ankoppelung beinhalteten. Außerdem können die Gehäuse der Antriebseinheiten mit Aufnahmen für Sekundärfedem versehen sein. Vor allem für ein meterspuriges Fahrwerk ist vorgesehen, dass an den Gehäusen der Antriebseinheiten Konsolen angeformt sind, die Aufnahmen für Primärfedern aufweisen. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims. Thus, the detachable connection between the housings of the Drive units and at least one cross member of the chassis frame included a positive coupling. In addition, the housing can the drive units provided with receptacles for Sekundärfedem be. Especially for a meter gauge landing gear is provided to the Housings of the drive units consoles are molded, the receptacles for Have primary springs.

Die beiden Fahrwerke haben durch Achsbrücken 9 verbundene Einzelräder 2. Auf jeder Längsseite des Fahrwerks hintereinander angeordnete Einzelräder 2 werden durch eine Antriebseinheit 1 angetrieben. Die Antriebseinheiten 1 bestehen jeweils aus einem Motor und zwei Winkelgetrieben. Die Gehäuse 3 der Antriebseinheiten 1 sind als tragende Elemente in den Fahrwerkrahmen integriert und bilden jeweils einen Längsträger. Die Gehäuse 3 der Antriebseinheiten 1 sind an den Schnittstellen 10 mit zumindest einem Querträger 4 des Fahrwerkrahmens lösbar verbunden, beispielsweise durch Schrauben. Diese lösbare Verbindung kann zusätzlich eine formschlüssige Ankoppelung beinhalten. Die Gehäuse 3 sind mit Aufnahmen 5 für Sekundärfedem versehen.The two trolleys have single wheels 2 linked by axle bridges 9. On each longitudinal side of the chassis one behind the other arranged single wheels 2 are driven by a drive unit 1. The drive units 1 each consist of a motor and two angle gears. The housing 3 the drive units 1 are as supporting elements in the chassis frame integrated and each form a side member. The housing 3 of the drive units 1 are at the interfaces 10 with at least one cross member. 4 detachably connected to the chassis frame, for example by screws. This detachable connection can additionally a positive coupling include. The housing 3 are provided with receptacles 5 for Sekundärfedem.

Bei dem Fahrwerk für Normalspur nach Fig. 1 hat der Fahrwerkrahmen parallel zu den Gehäusen 3 der Antriebseinheiten 1 verlaufende Achsträger 6, die jeweils am Querträger 4 befestigt sind. An jedem dieser Achsträger 6 ist ein Einzelrad 2 gelagert. Im übrigen können die Achsträger 6 mit Aufnahmen für Primärfedern ausgerüstet sein.In the chassis for standard gauge of Fig. 1, the chassis frame has parallel to the housings 3 of the drive units 1 extending axle 6, the are each secured to the cross member 4. At each of these axle 6 is a Single wheel 2 stored. Moreover, the axle carrier 6 with recordings for Be equipped with primary springs.

Bei dem meterspurigen Fahrwerk gemäß Fig. 2 sind für die Lagerung der Einzelräder 2 an den Gehäusen 3 der Antriebseinheiten 1 Konsolen 7 angeformt, die ebenfalls Aufnahmen 8 für Primärfedern aufweisen. In the meterspurigen chassis of FIG. 2 are for the storage of the individual wheels 2 integrally formed on the housings 3 of the drive units 1 consoles 7, which also have recordings 8 for primary springs.
